Lyrics
Mother cracks the porcelain
Hard against the wood
Claims I'm tossing my wit
For a hollow pulse
Chalkboard preaches a straight route
To a paved estate
While I trace the grime
On the window panes
[Chorus]
Got my target locked
When the static dies
Got my target locked
When the static dies
Shove your blueprints and your molds
Shove your blueprints and your molds
[shout] Bypassing the jury to take you!
Scraping my borders in the dirt
Scraping my borders in the dirt
[Instrumental Break]
[Driving bass, tempo increases]
[Verse 2]
Muttering by the lockers
Glaring in the aisle
Snapping the brass shut
Locking out the hum
Banking on a wallflower
In a cotton hem
Got a jaw that bites back
Settling for none
[Chorus]
Got my target locked
When the static dies
Got my target locked
When the static dies
Shove your blueprints and your molds
Shove your blueprints and your molds
[shout] Bypassing the jury to take you!
Scraping my borders in the dirt
Scraping my borders in the dirt
[Bridge]
Keep your sermons
[whisper] Keep your synthetic teeth
Pacing my own concrete
Pacing my own concrete
[Outro]
Yeah, the verdict is in
Porch swinging wide
[spoken] I'm gone
[Music fades out]
